Septr. 23rd 1901

W. Scawen Blunt,1 Esq.

Dear Mr Blunt

Many thanks for the copies of your "Times" letter. I have had a very interesting letter2 from Mr J. W. Fortescue3 giving further details about the one-armed boy which make the evidence fairly complete.

I enclose you a copy of a cut of the wild horse4 with a letter from Mr Scherren5[2] with some facts which may be of interest to you, & which please do not return.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
